Travel Grants for Faculty at Minority/Female Institutions to Attend FCRC '07

汉密尔顿学院寻求资助50名来自少数族裔/女性本科院校的教师参加2007年的联邦计算研究会议（FCRC）。FCRC是一个由附属研究会议和研讨会组成的为期一周的协调会议，在共同的时间和地点举行。它既保留了小型会议的优点，同时又促进了计算机科学与工程不同领域的研究人员之间的交流。该奖项将使主要从事妇女和少数民族学生教育的教师能够参加，否则他们可能没有必要的资金。在参加的过程中，这些教师将接触到一系列主题的最新研究，使他们能够在吸引学生时更好地传达该领域的兴奋之处。

Hamilton College seeks funding for fifty faculty from minority/female undergraduate institutions to attend the Federated Conference on Research in Computing (FCRC) in 2007. FCRC is an assembly of affiliated research conferences and workshops in a week long coordinated meeting held at a common time in a common place. It both retains the advantages of the smaller conferences, while at the same time, facilitates communication among researchers in different fields in computer science and engineering. This award will enable faculty who deal primarily with the education of women and minority students who might otherwise not have the necessary funding to attend. In attending, these faculty will be exposed to current research across a range of topics, making them better able to convey the excitement of the field when engaging students.
